Frontier Waiting List for FNP?

I just got "wait listed" for the FNP program at Frontier. After initially crying my eyes out until I could barely see, I have pulled myself together and am considering what to do next. I read some of the threads on here about folks who have been wait listed, and some of the folks seem to have actually been admitted, so I have hope. I do have a few questions, though.

In the threads I read, folks talked about calling and/or emailing to ask where they were on the wait list and things like that. They also talked about doing things like emailing and/or calling their admissions counselor regularly to inquire about their status. However, based on what I read on the "Wait List FAQ" page ( Waitlist Facts | Frontier Nursing University ), it seems that Frontier no longer allows applicants to do that.

Obviously, I feel powerless just sitting here waiting to see if I am admitted, and I wish I could do something to help move the process along, or at least get a "feel" for my chances. Has anyone applied recently and had the same thing happen? Did you get into the program? Did you do anything beyond accepting wait list status and then waiting for a response?

Unfortunately, I really have (had?) my heart set on Frontier for multiple reasons and I have not applied to other schools. I even took the Statistics and Physical Assessment classes that Frontier requires through FNU hoping that might help my chances. (FYI: Yes, I made an "A" in both classes.)

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thank you!

I just got waitlisted also. I can't stop crying. I really wanted Frontier. I called my admissions counselor and emailed her twice and she said they will not give any information as to where you are on the waitlist. This is probably an old post and you have since been accepted but I was just wondering what your experience was with the waitlist. Thanks!

It's serendipitous that you posted this TODAY. Guess where I am? In Hyden at day 1 of Frontier Bound. :-) So, I did not get into the term for which I initially applied, but I DID get accepted the next term. Unfortunately, there really isn't anything you can do to speed the process or find out where you are on the list. But, if you are wait listed, that does NOT mean you are turned down for admission. It means you meet the requirements, but they only accept a certain number of folks each term. So, hang in there and keep hoping and hopefully next term you will be traveling to the KY mountains for Bound.

Hi there. So I'm following suit and am just as hopeful as you guys were. I was waitlisted last week and I don't know what to do with myself. I really have my heart set on Frontier and didn't apply anywhere else. How did it go for you, Shannondunlop? Did you end up getting in? I hope you and Leda1st, ADN, LPN, RN are doing well and thriving in the program.

Hey, so I know this has been awhile but I literally just got waitlisted TODAY ? my question is whether anyone knows if they automatically accept you for the following term, or is the waitlist so long that you might even have a chance for the following term, or are you on accepted from the waitlist once those who applied on that term get accepted..? I just want to know what the possibilities are.
